What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A device for protecting the lower portion of a woman's tapered stiletto or high heel of a given variable diameter and taper above the heel cap portion, the device comprising:
 a piece of clear film having an adjustable lower portion and an adjustable upper portion;
 the adjustable lower portion having a bottom edge and a pair of lower side edges having a first end and a second end, each first end extending upward from the bottom edge;
 a first pair of perforations extending upward from the bottom edge for adjusting the width of the lower portion; 
 
 the adjustable upper portion having a top region with a pair of upper side edges and a top edge, and a tapered region extending upward from the second ends of the lower side edges toward the upper side edges of the top region and tapered such that the width of the tapered region decreases from the lower side edges toward the upper side edges;
 an upper perforation between the upper side edges for adjusting the height of the upper portion; and 
 
 
 an adhesive backside for adhering the device to the high heel. 
 
     
     
       2. The device according to  claim 1  wherein the lower side edges extend perpendicularly from the bottom edge. 
     
     
       3. The device according to  claim 1  wherein the film is made of polyurethane. 
     
     
       4. The device according to  claim 1  wherein the adhesive backside comprises a silicone adhesive. 
     
     
       5. The device according to  claim 1  wherein there is a removable backing over the adhesive backside. 
     
     
       6. The device according to  claim 1  wherein the tapered region is rounded concave outward. 
     
     
       7. The device according to  claim 1  wherein the top edge is rounded concave inward. 
     
     
       8. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper side edges are parallel. 
     
     
       9. The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second upper perforation extending between a first side and a second side of the tapered region. 
     
     
       10. The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second pair of perforations extending upward from the bottom edge for adjusting the width of the lower portion. 
     
     
       11. The device according to  claim 10 , wherein the second pair of perforations extend to the upper portion. 
     
     
       12. The device according to  claim 11 , wherein the second pair of perforations extend to the upper side edges. 
     
     
       13. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein each perforation in the first pair of perforations extends to the tapered region. 
     
     
       14. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the distance between the first pair of perforations increases upward from the bottom edge. 
     
     
       15. The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of perforation pairs extending upward from the bottom edge for adjusting the width of the lower portion. 
     
     
       16. The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of upper perforations in the upper portion for adjusting the height of the upper portion. 
     
     
       17. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper perforation is concave opening toward the bottom edge.
